Refining fresh water is actually very simple, you only need to pour seawater into a pot and boil it to evaporate, and then let the evaporated water vapor condense and fall and lead out.

Without a lid, Wen Xian made the pot on the earthen stove semi-closed.

At the bottom is a fire hole, and above is a large earthen pot, and above the earthen pot is a lid that is mostly connected to the earthen pot.

Cover the pot with a half-tight lid and leave a hole in the top for filling with seawater.

There is also a gap near the stove, which is plugged with wood and removed when needed to scoop out the coarse salt that has settled inside.

Of course, these are not enough, the evaporated condensation water will not obediently run outside.

If left untreated, the condensed water will simply return to the pot until it evaporates completely.

It's hard to get the condensate out.

Wen Xian thought of a way and put a thin slate on the center of the pot lid. Half in the pot and half in the cistern dug outside the pot.

There is a slit in the middle of the junction to facilitate the flow of water.

It was already evening when these things were done, and the pit that served as a reservoir had not been dug yet, but Wen Xian was eager to try and see if it could be done immediately.

She went to the cave to pick up the clay pot she had made before, and planned to use the clay pot to go to the beach to scoop up the seawater and come back.

Sheng Li'er caught up with her, took the earthen pot in her hand and said, "Madam, come on, today's work is almost over, I'll go faster." ”

The task she set for herself today was to collect firewood, and after a day, although she was tired, she was embarrassed to rest when she thought that Wen Xian was still drinking water for them.

"Then be careful, just scoop on the side." Wen Xian was no longer polite, and directly handed her the earthen pot.

The earthen stove can be filled with ten pots of water, but the first time she tried, Wen Xian only let half of it be filled and started to burn the fire.

For the first time, fresh water was refined to facilitate the inspection of the results, and Wen Xian directly connected the small earthen pot to the outside. Later, the fresh water will come out and put it directly into the pot.

When the fire burned, Wen Xian threw some taro into the fire hole and roasted it by the way.

This time she roasted twelve, leaving one for the little wolf cubs.

Such a big wolf cub should drink milk, but there is no place to find wolf milk at the moment, so I can only try to feed some taro and see if it eats it first.

It takes a long time for a large pot of water to boil, so Wen Xian has nothing to do, so she simply finds a sharp stone and begins to plant the wild vegetables and herbs dug up at the entrance of the cave.

Xia Zhi and Zhou Hui guarded the fire, staring at the water outlet without blinking, wanting to see if they could get fresh water.

Only Fang Jiaren came over and helped to cultivate and plant together.

Wen Xian didn't care about this, even if no one helped, she didn't care.

Everything has to be done step by step, and there is a long way to go if you want to train the former concubines to become good at surviving and farming in the wild.

Before the vegetables were planted here, Jiang Lingling, who was guarding with him, shouted excitedly.

"Madam, it's out of the water, there's really water coming out." Jiang Lingling ran over and shouted Wen Xian with excitement on her face.

Witnessing how freshwater is made for the first time made her not be happy.

Even Wu Junlan and Zheng Rou, who were working hard to dig a pit on the side, couldn't help but throw down the stone and ran over to watch.

"Cough~" Wen Xian coughed lightly, and the people in front of her immediately made way for her.

Wen Xian is actually refining fresh water for the first time, and she doesn't know if she can succeed.

She took a roll of leaves and rolled them into a cone, which she used to catch the water that leaked out. After receiving it, she couldn't wait to put it in her mouth.

Hu Ke'er looked forward to it: "How about madam, can you drink this water?" ”
